(Tabor) The Fremont-Mills Knights travel to face the East Mills Wolverines Friday night with a playoff berth on the line. It’s a win-and-you’re-in scenario for both squads.
Fremont-Mills also has added motivation, as a loss would end the program’s 17-game playoff streak.
Fremont-Mills enters the contest with three wins in its last four games. Coach Ernster says many players are first-year starters, and they have bought into the system.
Fremont-Mills has several offensive impact players, including Paxton Campbell (641 rushing yards), Wyatt Madison (455), Nash Moreland (252), and Aydn King (194).
Coach Ernster admits it starts up front with players that started as freshmen. Logan Forney is a sophomore who has improved leaps and bounds during the season. The injury bug hit the Tight End corps; however, Coach Ernster is welcoming back Rhett Lemons, who has been out with an injury.
